Is there anyone here that has no drapes or curtains in their home?

I don't like them. I have blinds built in all of our windows and we don't have any drapes or curtains. Our house is modern style, so it looks fine.

We are going to move in probably a year to a house that has regular windows with no blinds built in. I don't know what I'm going to do for window coverings. All blinds? Those collect dust too, but I still think I would like blinds better than curtains.

What do you like for window coverings?

Blinds and drapes . I have one nosy neighbor who stands and stares in. He is pathetic.

I have plantation shutters in my new home. They look like they are built into the window frame. I really like them. Easy to take care - I run a Swiffer duster over them.

Shutters and wooden blinds all over.

Blinds only. I like lots of light in my house and drapes block light.

I'm so glad to hear these responses. Even though I have all blinds in my house now, I actually don't know anyone personally that doesn't have any drapes or curtains. I thought maybe I was the only one.

I don't have blinds or curtains on the windows in my kitchen or family room. They are in the back of the house and it's all fenced in and there are a lot of tall trees. I do have plantation shutters in the front of the house.

In the bedrooms, I have floor to ceiling curtains with blackout liners. I like curtains in the bedrooms because they're decorative, IMO.

In my bathrooms, I have wooden blinds.

That would be me. None, nothing. Just beautiful woods and a lake to look at. No close neighbors. We live in a log cabin so it doesn't look funny.

Blinds...the only time I wish we had drapes is when its really cold...which isn't often here.
